Dexterity is a content type framework for CMF applications, with particular emphasis on Plone. It can be viewed as an alternative to Archetypes that is more light-weight and modular.
Project description
Introduction
Dexterity wants to make some things really easy. These are:
Create a “real” content type entirely through-the-web without having to know programming.
As a business user, create a schema using visual or through-the-web tools, and augment it with adapters, event handlers, and other Python code written on the filesystem by a Python programmer.
Create content types in filesystem code quickly and easily, without losing the ability to customise any aspect of the type and its operation later if required.
Support general “behaviours” that can be enabled on a custom type in a declarative fashion. Behaviours can be things like title-to-id naming, support for locking or versioning, or sets of standard metadata with associated UI elements.
Easily package up and distribute content types defined through-the-web, on the filesystem, or using a combination of the two.
Philosophy
Dexterity is designed with a specific philosophy in mind. This can be summarised as follows:
- Reuse over reinvention
As far as possible, Dexterity should reuse components and technologies that already exist. More importantly, however, Dexterity should reuse concepts that exist elsewhere. It should be easy to learn Dexterity by analogy, and to work with Dexterity types using familiar APIs and techniques.
- Small over big
Mega-frameworks be damned. Dexterity consists of a number of specialised packages, each of which is independently tested and reusable. Furthermore, packages should have as few dependencies as possible, and should declare their dependencies explicitly. This helps keep the design clean and the code manageable.
- Natural interaction over excessive generality
The Dexterity design was driven by several use cases that express the way in which we want people to work with Dexterity. The end goal is to make it easy to get started, but also easy to progress from an initial prototype to a complex set of types and associated behaviours through step-wise learning and natural interaction patterns. Dexterity aims to consider its users - be they business analysts, light integrators or Python developers, and be they new or experienced - and cater to them explicitly with obvious, well-documented, natural interaction patterns.
- Real code over generated code
Generated code is difficult to understand and difficult to debug when it doesn’t work as expected. There is rarely, if ever, any reason to scribble methods or ‘exec’ strings of Python code.
- Zope 3 over Zope 2
Although Dexterity does not pretend to work with non-CMF systems, as many components as possible should work with plain Zope 3, and even where there are dependencies on Zope 2, CMF or Plone, they should - as far as is practical - follow Zope 3 techniques and best practices. Many operations (e.g. managing objects in a folder, creating new objects or manipulating objects through a defined schema) are better designed in Zope 3 than they were in Zope 2.
- Zope concepts over new paradigms
We want Dexterity to be “Zope-ish”. Zope is a mature, well-designed (well, mostly) and battle tested platform. We do not want to invent brand new paradigms and techniques if we can help it.
- Automated testing over wishful thinking
“Everything” should be covered by automated tests. Dexterity necessarily has a lot of moving parts. Untested moving parts tend to come loose and fall on people’s heads. Nobody likes that.
Getting started
Please read the installation guide to get Dexterity up and running.
Then log in to Plone, go to Site Setup, and go to the Dexterity Types control panel to get started creating content types through the web.
Or read the Dexterity Developer Manual to get started developing Dexterity content types on the filesystem.
The 2.0.x release series of Dexterity is compatible with and included with Plone 4.3.
Upgrading
If you are upgrading from a previous release of Dexterity, you need to:
Update your buildout with the new versions (or extend the updated KGS), and re-run it.
Restart Zope.
Go to the Add-ons control panel in Plone Site Setup, and run the upgrade steps for “Dexterity Content Types” if there are any available.
Documentation
Various documentation is available:
The following documents are not Dexterity-specific, but will likely be useful to users of Dexterity:

Release Notes
Dexterity 2.0 is a major release of Dexterity. It has focused on getting Dexterity included in Plone core, by cleaning things up and making dependencies that are not ready for primetime optional.
Grok-style configuration no longer included by default
Dexterity 1.0 included five.grok to allow configuring components via Python directives rather than in separate XML-based ZCML files. It also included two packages, plone.directives.form and plone.directives.dexterity, to provide some grok-style directives for Dexterity-specific features.
The Dexterity authors still like grok and believe it makes it easier to learn how to customize Plone. However, it has been turned into an optional feature so that Dexterity has a chance to enter Plone core even if the Plone framework team doesn’t want to add grok to the already complex stack.
To include these three grok-related packages when you install Dexterity, enable the “grok” extra:
[instance] eggs = plone.app.dexterity [grok]
By the way, a number of schema directives from plone.directives.form that used to require grok to work have been reimplemented so that they work without grok. In particular, the Schema class and the model, fieldset, and primary directives were moved to plone.supermodel.model. The omitted, no_omit, mode, widget, order_before, order_after, read_permission, and write_permission directives were moved to plone.autoform.directives. There are aliases in the old locations so you don’t need to update existing code, but you can switch to the new locations if you’re trying to avoid depending on grok.
Relation support no longer included by default
Dexterity 1.0 included support for object relations based on the zc.relation catalog and plone.app.relationfield, as well as a behavior (plone.app.dexterity.behaviors.related.IRelatedItems) providing a generic list of related items based on that implementation.
Since this feature was added to Dexterity, we discovered that it will be hard to support this type of relation well in Zope 2 until Zope 2 is setting __parent__ pointers everywhere. In addition, we encountered some problems with using interfaces as keys in the zc.relation catalog. And Dexterity gained support for the Archetypes reference engine in plone.app.referenceablebehavior. As a result of these factors, the zc.relation approach to object relationships will not be included in Dexterity or Plone core for the time being.
VERY IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading a site with Dexterity 1.0 to Dexterity 2.0, it will break unless you install plone.app.relationfield, since your database contains persistent intid and relations utilities. The easiest way to include plone.app.relationfield is to install plone.app.dexterity with the “relations” extra:
[instance] eggs = plone.app.dexterity [relations]
Using relations via plone.app.relationfield
If you were relying on the support for relations, you can re-enable support by installing the plone.app.relationfield package. You need to add it to your package’s install_requires in setup.py:
install_requires=[ 'plone.app.relationfield', ]
Make sure your package is including its ZCML in configure.zcml:
<include package="plone.app.relationfield" />
And install its GenericSetup profile as a dependency in your package’s metadata.xml:
<dependencies> <dependency>profile-plone.app.relationfield:default</dependency> </dependencies>
If you have any content types using the IRelatedItems behavior, you should update them to import the behavior from the new location:
<property name="behaviors"> <element value="plone.app.relationfield.behavior.IRelatedItems" /> </property>
Content tree and Autocomplete widgets no longer included by default
In Dexterity 1.0, the widgets in plone.formwidget.autocomplete and plone.formwidget.contenttree were installed as dependencies of plone.app.dexterity. In Dexterity 2.0 they are no longer installed by default, because they are not used by any of the included behaviors or made available via the through-the-web content type editor at this time.
If you use these widgets, make sure your package lists them as dependencies in setup.py, loads their ZCML in configure.zcml, and activates their GenericSetup profiles as dependencies in metadata.xml.

1.0rc1 - 2011-04-30
Added upgrade step to install new javascript from plone.formwidget.autocomplete [davisagli]
Added basic support for making TTW changes to schemas defined in filesystem models and code. (Note: This feature will not actually work until some further changes are completed in plone.dexterity.)
In order to support this change, the event handling to serialize schema changes was revised. We now register a single event handler for the SchemaModifiedEvent raised for the schema context. This allows us to keep track of the FTI that changes need to be serialized to on the schema context. The serializeSchemaOnFieldEvent and serializeSchemaOnSchemaEvent handlers were removed from the serialize module and replaced by serializeSchemaContext. The serializeSchema helper remains but is deprecated. [davisagli]

Make sure the current user is loaded as the default creator for the IOwnership schema in an add form. [davisagli]
Include behavior descriptions on the behavior edit tab. [davisagli]
IBasic behavior: set missing_value of description-field to u’’ . The description should never be None (live_search would not work any more). [jbaumann]

If you find that you get import errors or unknown keyword arguments in your code, please change names from foo_bar too fooBar, e.g. serialize_schema() becomes serializeSchema(). [optilude]

Updated use of <plone:behavior /> directive to match plone.behavior 1.0b4. [optilude]
1.0a2 - 2009-06-01
